Oztoffee Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Our hope as Evertonians must be that Martinez will see a great future at Everton and that guiding a club like us to big things is possibly more of an achievement than maintaining the success of some rich win everything club. When he does eventually leave, let's hope he's done a brillaint job. This x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Man United have well and truly burned their bridges with Everton. The arrogant sods will no doubt be toying about with "who they will pick" to take over. For me I hope that their main targets say "no" - that even if Martinez is linked he says "why would I leave a massive club like Everton to join a club lower than us?" Martinez is a smart man, he knows that he is at the right club for him and that he will get the time and flexibility to install his philosophies. I hope united pick another lemon who blows the £150m on garbage mercenaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah, the MEN Sports Editor said Man Utd shouldn't rule him out. He's linked in the Times today as well as fourth favourite candidate (17-1_ behind Giggs, Klopp and Van Gaal. The Italian press say they've approached Jorge Mendes, Mourinho's agent.

Hafnia Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Its the arrogance that I can't stand... "we are Man United, we get who we want" - then all the media behave like the school bully's gimps. efc1111 and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBlue Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 What do people think of Van Gall? Don't rate him at all. I hope they appoint him because that will be years before they are anywhere near success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Not sure why Simeone would want to leave? Klopp's ruled himself out. Out of all of them, i think Conte would be good for United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Apparently (Van Gaal) he's a bit of an egomaniac who runs things the way he wants, he will clash with certain players etc, but he does have pedigree, whther thats because he's always managed big clubs I dont know but he will be a big improvement on moyes.

Steve_E Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 When clubs fire managers, they often go for a completely different profile afterwards. So after Moyes, I think they'll go for a proven winner so I hope we shouldn't worry about them chasing Martinez. I think they'll do well if they go for Louis van Gaal. Has worked for some of the biggest clubs in world football in Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern. Won league titles in Holland (with Ajax, but also with the much smaller club AZ), Spain and Germany. Has won every existing European trophy. Brilliant tactician and always plays lots of youngsters. He will probably be fighting with about everyone at the club in a three years time, but I've no doubt he'll have laid the groundwork for a successful team and won some honour by then.

Kant Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 He's been linked to Barcelona (again), and he kind of said this Sunday in an interview to Spanish widespread newspaper El Mundo that he was flattered because he's becoming popular in Spain when he actually developed his professional career in England. He did not reply expressing interest, he just said so far there has not been any contact with Spanish clubs and he is happy Everton's reputation is increasing in Spain. Take it as you wish, I'd say he does not think Barcelona would come calling and he looks like he's thinking as an Evertonian. PS: Van Gaal in Barcelona was not successfu,l but he was not afraid to play young lads like Xavi or Puyol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 when Moyes left, I was angry and also worried due to fear of the unknown. if Roberto leaves, I'll be angry at the loss of the most promising manager at our club in my life time and would certainly feel betrayed. Dont see him leaving for a long time though, he seems to be building a long term project.

Hafnia Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 How do Spurs actually think they can get Martinez??? They are a smaller club than us, they've got a few bob yeah but why would anyone want to work for levy either? Ant1979 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 No way he will go to spurs. He likes owners that he can trust and work with. Levy is a snake and would fire him for the bad run we had in the winter, he's too smart to go there. Ant1979 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueboy122 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Definitely. Why would he want to go to Italian football anyway. If he goes abroad it will be to Spain to manage one of the top teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Putting all else aside, he has a Scottish wife and young daughter who undoubtedly benefit from living within reasonable distance to extended family. Why ever move to Italy, of all places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
